[Bug 1710318] Re: Please remove webkit1 rdepends removed from Debian Testing

[Jeremy Bicha]

** Description changed:

  Several webkit1 reverse-dependencies have been removed from Debian
  Testing ('buster').
  
  While I'd like to see them removed from unstable too (or ported away
  from webkit1), that will take quite a while longer.
  
  Removed from testing
  ====================
  bibledit-gtk (note that the source package bibledit is ok and it ships the same package names)
  blam
  cyclograph
  gnucash
  gphpedit
  luakit
  monodevelop
  monodevelop-database
  thawab
- xiphos (fixed in new upstream unpackaged version?)
+ xiphos (there's a new upstream unpackaged version but I guess it's still not ready for webkit2)
  xtrkcad
  webkitgtk-sharp3
  webkit-image
  zekr
- sparkleshare (new version is ok LP: #1720714 )
  
  Requested removal from unstable
  ==============================
  blam https://bugs.debian.org/877751
  webkit-sharp https://bugs.debian.org/877786
  
  Never in Debian
  ===============
  lightdm-webkit-greeter
  Mike Gabriel from Debian MATE has begun preparing web-greeter (the renamed version of lightdm-webkit-greeter)

  ==========
  I think the most difficult one on this list for some people is gnucash. Fedora 27 (due ~November) is actually bundling webkit1 inside the gnucash packaging. There will be a beta version of gnucash ported to gtk3 available later this year. Hard to say whether it's better to offer a beta or just remove it entirely.
  
  monodevelop may be useful to some people but I don't think Mono ever got
  around to releasing a stable gtk3 version of Mono.
  
  Arch Linux has already completely removed webkit1.
